| BIVA Costs From what i have been reading on the DofT website is that the cost for a KIT CAR SVA will be £540. Is this not in the region of 4 times what it currently costs? The reason given on their web site is that inspecting a kit car can take twice as long as 'normal' car. Cost for a normal car is £280. The club could comment on this as a collective organisation forms are on the DofT website. The document http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/...ondocument.pdf provides more details the could be a link to this on an earlier post. I have concerns given i am developing a bit of a cross breed cobra on a kit from the earlie 80's. I have started to cut and paste all of the referenced standards into one word document. over 500 pages so far and i am less than half way through the BIVA document. Though if i condence it to onbly the referenced sections it should be significantly smaller. I will make these avalible if and when i get them done. I would agree whole hartedly that a Guide for Dummies to the BIVA would be a good idea. Jon |

| A question arising from a very quick scan of the document Mike posted: If you look at, for example, the section about fuel tanks, in the "things to apporve" column (rhs) it talks about a tank complying with a prior standard or approval, and asks for the paperwork regarding that. The worrier in me could construe this to mean that only a tank fitted to a production car could be used, and you would need to know the approvals registration number of it? Any other views?
